Dear Lybrateuser,
-Your friend could be having sinus bradycardia, a condition in which the resting heart rate is 60 or less than that
-this disorder is due to problem with the electrical system of the heart, if the heart beats very slowly then it can not pump enough blood to meet the body's needs & sometimes it may become life threatening
-his hypertension & depression also have to be treated as they are contributors in the condition.

Cardiomyopathy includes diseases involving the heart muscle. These diseases have various causes, types, symptoms and modes of treatment.

The heart muscle gets enlarged, thick or rigid. In several cases, the heart muscle tissue is replaced with a scar tissue. As this condition worsens, the heart gets weaker and the ability to pump blood is disrupted, which can cause heart failure or irregular beating of the heart. The weakened state of the heart can lead to valvar diseases.

The different types of cardiomyopathy are:

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: This is a common form and affects people of all ages. Men and women are affected equally. This condition arises due to the enlargement and thickening of the heart muscle. The ventricles, the septum and the lower heart chamber usually thicken, which causes obstruction in pumping of blood by the heart. This disease also causes stiffness in the ventricles, and cellular changes in the tissue.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy: This form of cardiomyopathy develops due to the enlargement and weakening of the ventricles. The issue arises from the left ventricle and develops over time. It may even affect the right ventricle. More effort is put in by the heart muscles for pumping blood and slowly the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. This condition may lead to heart failure, valve diseases or blood clots in the heart.

Restrictive Cardiomyopathy: This disease occurs due to the stiffening of the ventricles, without thickening of the walls of the heart. The ventricles are not allowed to relax and do not receive a sufficient volume of blood supply. This condition causes heart failure and valvar problems over time.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia: This rare form of cardiomyopathy occurs when fat or fibrous tissues replace the muscle tissue of the right ventricle. This causes arrhythmias and disruption in the electrical signals of the heart. It generally affects teens and may cause cardiac arrest in athletes.

Unclassified Cardiomyopathy: Some types of cardiomyopathy of this category include left ventricular non compaction where the ventricles develop trabeculations. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is another disease where immense stress causes failure of the heart muscles.

Treatment: Many cases of cardiomyopathy come and go away on their own. Treatment for other cases depends on the severity and symptoms. The major treatment methods are:
Lifestyle changes meant for a healthier heart.

High cholesterol can cause atherosclerotic heart disease or narrowed coronary arteries in the heart can cause the symptoms of angina, when theheart muscle is not provided with enough oxygen to function.
Decreased blood supply to the brain may be due to narrowed small arteries in the brain or because the larger carotidarteries in the neck may become blocked. This can result in a transient ischmic attack or stroke.
Peripheral artery disease describes gradual narrowing of the arteries that supply the legs. During exercise , if the legs do not get enough blood supply, they can develop pain , called claudication .
Other arteries in the body may also be affected by plaque buildup causing them to narrow, including the mesenteric arteries to the intestine and the renal arteries to the kidney.
Avoid fast foods,oily foods,junk foods,alcohol,smoking,fatty foods, non-veg.,avoid stress,
take green veg., whole grain.garlic,.
Take anti cholesterol medicines .

High blood pressure is characterized by an increased force that the blood exerts on the blood vessels when it moves through the body. Renal hypertension is a blood pressure disorder where the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys become narrow, as a result of which the blood pressure through these vessels increases.

Causes

It is caused when the arteries that supply blood to the kidney get narrow or get blocked. This can cause the kidney to release specific hormones that signal the body to retain water and sodium. This can put additional pressure on the blood vessels which leads to increased blood pressure. It can also be caused by atherosclerosis which is characterized by hardening of the arteries. Improper development of the arteries can also lead to renal hypertension.

Symptoms

The symptoms of renal hypertension are:

Feeling confused

Blurred vision

Regular headaches

Bleeding from the nose

Gradual decline in kidney function

Possible long-term damage to the kidney

Feeling lethargic and drowsy

Loss of appetite

Dryness in skin

Muscle cramps

Breathing difficulties

Treatments

The diagnostic procedure for this disorder consists of blood, urine, doppler ultrasound and CT angiography or MR angiography tests. Treatments for this disorder usually include medications to ease blood pressure. Preventive measures include modifications in lifestyle such as following a proper diet, limiting smoking, restricting sodium or salt in the diet and following an exercise regimen. Steps should also be taken to reduce stress. Yoga and meditation are highly beneficial to control the condition. Sometimes intervention is needed in the form of PTRA and stenting.

Dear mam, there is no definition of perfect/normal bp. It is always a range which depends upon many factors including constitution of the person. Your blood pressures may be low reading on machine but it maybe your body's blood pressure. However you must get yourself down with haemoglobin and tided function test so that the common causes like anaemia and hypothyroidism maybe ruled out.

Stop alcohol if you want to safe your life firstly.
Take a very light diet gourd will help you in hypertension and correct bleeding.
Take 4 litres water per day.
Avoid non veg dry fruits.
For medicines I need more symptoms.

Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dL) in adult males. In general, BUN around 7 to 20 mg/dL (2.5 to 7.1 mmol/L) is considered normal. But normal ranges may vary, depending on the reference range used by the lab, and your age. You have normal report and you are fine.

Symptoms of CHF that indicate your condition has worsened include:
irregular heartbeat.
a cough that develops from congested lungs.
wheezing.
shortness of breath, which may indicate pulmonary edema.
YOu need to avoid water load and salt in excess
Symptoms you may notice first include:
fatigue
swelling in your ankles, feet, and legs
weight gain
increased need to urinate, especially at night
There are several medications that can be used to treat CHF:
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) open up narrowed blood vessels to improve blood flow. Vasodilators are another option if you cannot tolerate ACE inhibitors.
Beta-blockers can reduce blood pressure and slow a rapid heart rhythm.
Diuretics reduce your body’s fluid content. CHF can cause your body to retain more fluid than it should.

Could you describe the chest pain :
Location?
Is it sharp localized or heaviness with pressure.
Does it also go to the shoulder, jaw or back.
Do you have any burning in chest or regurgitation of food.
Do you also have breathlessness?
When do you get pain.
What relieves the pain.
It is very important to rule out chest pain due to heart problem by answering the above questions and by doing an ECG. Bone and joint problems can wait.
Also, do you have history of any heart disease, diabetes, increased cholesterol, family history of any of these diseases.
Do you smoke,drink or use tobacco?
What is/was your occupation?
